12/03 11:50 CST Markram powers South Africa to victory over India despite Kohli's 53rd ODI century Markram powers South Africa to victory over India despite Kohli's 53rd ODI century RAIPUR, India (AP) --- Aiden Markram's hundred upstaged Virat Kohli's 53rd ODI century as South Africa beat India by four wickets in the second game to level the three-match series Wednesday. The dewy conditions also favored the Proteas in their strong chase of 362-6 after India lost its 20th consecutive toss in ODIs and made 358-5. Markram --- dropped on 53 --- made 110 off 98 balls with 10 fours and four sixes and laid the platform with better than a run-a-ball second-wicket stand with Temba Bavuma (46), who returned to lead the Proteas after missing out his team's 17-run loss at Ranchi last Sunday. "Happy to have crossed the line," Bavuma said. "Unbelievable game ... and it showed how tough it is to play against this Indian side. A lot of confidence we can take from this (game) and set up an enthralling series." ____ AP cricket: https://apnews.com/hub/cricket
